Russia's Premier League has closed Rostov's stadium because of the poor condition of the pitch, a week after Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho slammed the surface as unplayable.
The league said Wednesday that it was banning matches at the Olimp-2 arena -- as well as the Central Stadium in Kazan -- until the pitches meet its standards.
Mourinho had decried the state of the pitch -- which was dry and devoid of grass in areas -- ahead of the 1-1 draw with Rostov in their Europa League match last Thursday.
